Foxy Family

A little while ago I wrote a post about some fabulously foxy fabric I picked up on my travels.

I've been busy since then and the fabric has now been made up into some fabulously foxy items which you can see below. Each one is made from an orange and grey fox head design and has a contrasting yellow and cream cotton polka dot lining.

The coin purse above is so cute and just big enough for small change or for storing headphones.

The coin purse above is slightly larger and can fit small change and credit cards too!

The cosmetic bag above is a great size for storing makeup, or can be used as a gadget pouch for storing phone chargers etc. It could also be used as a handbag organiser.

The glasses case above is softly padded and big enough to fit large sunglasses.

The tissue holder above is a fun way to carry tissues and protects them when they're in your bag.

Foxy loxy

I just had to mention this fabulous foxy fabric I bought recently from Creative Quilter. It's such a simple design and I love the regimented feel of it. Foxes are still a popular design motif and I'm looking forward to making this fabric up into a coin purse, glasses case and cosmetic bag.

I have a prefect yellow and cream polka dot fabric to use as the lining.

From a distance the fox heads look like a little geometric design,

but up close you can see their cheeky faces.

Foxy items will be in store soon.....

A ray of sunshine

My last post mentioned the beautiful Spring/Summer '16 collection of Paul Smith. I loved the use of yellow in some of his outfits, but realised I have my own ray of sunshine in my Cheeky Leopard collection. It's in the form of a beautiful yellow and cream ikat fabric clutch bag that has a fab complimentary bright green lining.

I bought the fabric on a recent trip to Istanbul and fell in love with the happy colour. Ikat fabrics are painstakingly fiddly to make as they require the pattern of the fabric to be dyed onto the yarns before they are woven. This creates the characteristic 'blurred' effect. I bought many more beautifully bright ikat fabrics while I was in Istanbul and they will slowly be added to my store over the next few weeks.

You can find this wondrous yellow creation in my store here.
